ON/OFF:
The “ON/OFF” key turns the unit on and off. Alarm and calibration settings are restored to the most recent values when the unit is turned on. If the unit is using AC power and power fails, the unit will switch to battery power without interrupting the recording capabilities. If power fails when the battery is not present, the pen will remain on the chart in recording position.
PEN HOME (also DOWN ARROW):
If the pen is located outside the chart, press the “HOME” key to move pen to recording position. Press the “HOME” key with the pen in recording position, and the pen will move to the outside of the chart and up the pen lift ramp (HOME).
The “PEN HOME” key is also used as a “DOWN ARROW” key to decrease values when setting alarms or calibration values.
CHART ROTATION (also UP ARROW):
The “CHART ROTATION” key sets the chart to the desired time setting. Press the “CHART ROTATION” key to rotate chart. Continue pressing until the chart reaches the desired time setting (the red pen aligns with the timing clip on the 1 thermocouple unit and the blue pen aligned with the timing clip on the 2 thermocouple unit). The chart rotation will reach full speed after a few seconds of holding down the key. NOTE: Do not attempt to rotate the chart manually. The “CHART ROTATION” key is also used as an “UP ARROW” key to increase values when setting alarms or calibration values.
ALARM (optional):
The “ALARM” key turns the alarm on or off. When the alarm is on the display will flash the MIN & MAX indicators. Holding the “ALARM” key for 2 seconds will cause the unit to enter into the alarm set mode.
